UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

COME ON BEAR has been in top form of late and lost little in defeat when second in search of a hat-trick at Lingfield last time. She can confirm the form of her half-length success over Drop Kick Murphi on her penultimate start, with that rival well placed to follow her home for a podium spot once again. The British Lion, who was fifth on that occasion, and recent Kempton third Spanish Mane are others to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Come On Bear 2nd Drop Kick Murphi 3rd The British Lion

FANTASTIC FLYER made it back-to-back course-and-distance victories with a comfortable success late last month and Dean Ivory's five-year-old should have enough in hand to complete the hat-trick following a further 8lb rise. Rock Boy Grey was touched off over this trip at Lingfield last time and makes some appeal off only a 2lb higher mark, while Venture went close over track and trip recently and appears dangerous off the same rating.
Prediction : 1st Fantastic Flyer 2nd Rock Boy Grey 3rd Venture

BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION showed plenty of encouraging signs when scoring on debut at Wolverhampton and there is likely to be plenty more to come from Charlie Appleby's Shamardal filly. Glitter Queen was beaten less than a length last time and has shaped with promise in both outings so far. She is the pick of Marco Botti's pair, with Amy Murphy's Allez Louise also shortlisted following a handy third on debut at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Beautiful Illusion 2nd Glitter Queen 3rd Allez Louise

Venusta won on her first outing for Patrick Owens over C&D in late January and, with Finley Marsh able to use his 3lb claim tonight, this filly effectively runs off the same mark. Carnival Rose and Torbellino also arrive in winning form and warrant respect, but preference is for the dropped-in-grade ROMAN SPINNER. Rae Guest's charge steps down into class 5 company for the first time since scoring at Lingfield in November and she has run consistently well at a higher level since, including notching another victory at Kempton.
Prediction : 1st Roman Spinner 2nd Venusta 3rd Carnival Rose

With a top rating of 111, WEEKENDER is best treated at these weights and could prove difficult to beat under Frankie Dettori. He is a triple course winner and tends to go well fresh, so everything points to a big run. Mildenberger readily won a similar contest on his latest outing at Lingfield 36 days ago and he rates the biggest threat, ahead of Red Verdon, a Group 3 winner at York last summer but absent since running in the Caulfield Cup during the autumn.
Prediction : 1st Weekender 2nd Mildenberger 3rd Red Verdon

CENTRAL CITY has acquitted himself well recently over a trip that probably stretches his stamina to the limit at both Wolverhampton and Newcastle so the return to 1m2f, off a 4lb lower mark than his last win at Doncaster almost a year ago, could see the five-year-old back to winning ways. The Game Is On arrives in consistent form and is likely to post another solid bid, while a first-time visor might aid the cause of Balgees Time.
Prediction : 1st Central City 2nd The Game Is On 3rd Balgees Time

BAD ATTITUDE has improved since being stepped up in distance and switched to handicap company on his last couple of starts, but he may find his optimum trip now dropped to 1m2f for the first time and it could make the difference required to see him shed the maiden tag. Fair Warning has been running consistently well over the past couple of months and he can enter the reckoning along with Camouflaged, who could leave his previous form behind on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Bad Attitude 2nd Fair Warning 3rd Camouflaged
